Oh, sure. Someone was asking if... he'd ever fallen trying to remove a shirt.

What kind of text conversations is Neil deGrasse Tyson having? Is this all an elaborate lede before they hit him with a "can you identify this constellation" question? Who is asking this?

More importantly, and perhaps most disturbingly: is this Neil deGrasse Tyson flirting? Is "I have fallen over while attempting to quickly remove my pants," him hinting at something that we don't even dare imagine?

It seems like everyone has the same questions, but they don't quite want to ask them.

We will be patient with you, Neil. But the eyebrows will raise. Show the receipts, please.
